370

[Damn Seo Ho-yoon…
Sung Ji-won’s face is insane…]

[Why did I suddenly become more wistful and handsome when I went to Japan?

└Because that is the idol country rule..
└└He’ll be back in a few weeks…
└└’National Treasure Returns’]
When it leaves my hands, it suddenly becomes beautiful…

“└└’Return of National Treasures’]”

The Dun’s second day after arriving in Japan.

I appreciate you providing context, but I don’t see a Korean line to translate in your message. You’ve provided:

1. A glossary entry (THE DAWN = THE DAWN)
2. A title that appears to be in Korean with Japanese version notation
3. An IP reminder
[I thought it would come out just like they filmed a new Japanese music video haha]
Could you please provide the specific Korean line you’d like me to translate?

[Our Brilliant Dawn! Our Brilliant Dawn! Our Brilliant Dawn! Our Brilliant Dawn! Whisper your faith to me, hold me tight as warm as the promise you made to me!!!!!]

Yesss, it’s finally out!!!!
[I really wanted to see Our Brilliant Dawn with black-haired Seo Ho-yoon. Thank you… Thank you… Thank you…]

When The Dun was promoting “Our Brilliant Dawn,” Seo Ho-yoon had abandoned the black hair he’d consistently maintained and dyed only the ends a pale violet, transforming into an ash gray with a silvery sheen. Of course, that had been stunning as well, but the fans were beyond satisfied that he’d created yet another record worth preserving forever with his deep blue-tinted black hair.

【[SPECIAL] THE DAWN- ‘Superhero’ Band Live Session】

[Oh fuck]

I enjoyed the meal.

It was around the time when Noel had watched, listened to, and repeatedly analyzed the music video for “Our Brilliant Dawn” so many times that she had even memorized the Japanese lyrics, and her interest was beginning to shift elsewhere.
[Aren’t you crazy!!!!!!!!]
【[SPECIAL] THE DAWN – ‘Superhero’ Band Live Session】

Damn it.

A live session video of “Superhero,” a B-side track, was uploaded without warning to The Dun’s official YouTube channel.

[What is this? Wait… what, what?!]

[A Japanese B-side band session?!?!?!]
└└Wow, WH has revealed his otaku background]

Jeong Da-jun, wearing a baggy hoodie over bright-colored jeans, rotated the drumsticks once and struck the cymbals, and the song began.

[Ha, I’m already drooling]
[But isn’t that the WH Rooftop?

Lol how the hell would anyone know that lmaooo

【I get nervous just by making eye contact with you.
Jung Da-jun, dressed in light-colored jeans and an oversized hoodie, spun his drumsticks once before striking the cymbals, and the song began.

[Wow, I’m already drooling]

【Even though my hands are shaking, I want to keep holding them
Next came the electronic piano melody following Sung Ji-won’s nimble fingers, the electric guitar lines of Kim Sung-hyun and Kang Yi-chae soaring through the air, while Seo Ho-yoon’s bass notes cut through the space between them.

【Just meeting your gaze makes me tremble

I stupidly stammered over my words.

With a long, lingering pluck of his electric guitar strings, Kim Sung-hyun grasped the standing microphone and opened the verse with a low, hushed tone.
Among the countless people between the intersections
【Even as my hands shake, I want to keep holding on

Can you promise again?
That we’ll be able to fulfill our dreams once more】

Can you promise again?

The synthesizer richly filled the song, following Seong Ji-won’s nods as if riding the beat.
The song, which had begun with a wistful atmosphere, shifted a complete 180 degrees into an uplifting and hopeful melody as it transitioned to Jung Da-jun’s part.
Seeing Seong Ji-won with red blush on his cheeks, Seo Ho-yoon opened his mouth with a slight smile.

Among the countless people between the crossroads
I can discover you!】
Among the many people between intersections
Because I can find you!
As a hero who can do everything
The moment I felt our eyes meet while Jung Da-jun passionately struck the drums, the corners of his mouth lifted in a smirk. He tossed the stick skyward, caught it mid-air, and pulled it back down.

When the chorus ended, Kang Yi-chae’s solo electric guitar performance followed.

Jiying—.

Behind The Dun, the setting sun scattered its traces across the sky as it faded into dusk.

【My efforts were not enough
【I want to be your superhero

I want to be your superhero

Will become a hero capable of anything
I want to be superhero】
This condition, this situation, everything can be overcome
As the chorus ended, Kang Yi-chae’s electric guitar solo followed.

Zzzzzing—.

Displaying his dazzling fingerwork, Kang Yi-chae suddenly slung off his electric guitar and snatched the microphone from Seo Ho-yoon’s hand.

【That my effort wasn’t enough

Wearing a playful expression toward Seo Ho-yoon, who stared at him in bewilderment, Kang Yi-chae formed a finger heart and extended it while continuing his rap.

【Don’t say words that hurt just hearing them
It’s better not to speak uncertain words
Under these conditions, in this situation, I can overcome everything

The moment when Seo Ho-yoon’s slightly rough yet clear mid-bass followed suit and formed a harmonious harmony,

【The dream we drew behind the stage】

The screen switched, spinning in a circle with The Dawn in the center.
Over the clear piano melody, Sung Ji-won’s refreshing voice soared high,

【I want to be your superhero

I want to be your superhero
Ordinary as I was, for you

I want to be superhero】

In that moment, Seo Ho-yoon’s rich baritone followed with a slightly rough yet understated quality, weaving together in harmonious accord.

【The dreams we painted backstage】

The screen transitioned, and The Dun stood at the center as the camera circled around them.

The drumstick that had risen glimmered in the sunset’s glow before falling. Simultaneously, Jung Da-jun’s head swayed with the rhythm.
Sung Ji-won’s hands swept rapidly across the keyboard, while Kang Yi-chae’s fingers, slung with electric guitar across his shoulder, deftly pressed the chords in quick succession.

【Melting into the sunset, illuminating my world】

Sweat clinging to the edge of Seo Ho-yoon’s chin dripped onto the bass line that pulsed with savage intensity, and then Kim Sung-hyun’s pick descended with a brilliant flourish, striking the guitar strings with force.
When it comes to musical instruments, Seong Ji-won and Kang I-chae were still sitting in a scene or another room, as if they were getting along well, and Jeong Da-jun had left for a while to go to the convenience store.
【You know what I will say….】

For an instant, all sound in the world seemed to vanish into silence, and Kim Sung-hyun’s lips curled upward as deep dimples carved into his cheeks.

【I will be your superhero!】

.

The idea of ​​performing the songs live in a band format was also Ji-Hyun Lee’s suggestion.
“It hurts.”
As a result, the members of The Dawn, who had not picked up an instrument for quite some time, were forced to remain behind within a short period of one week.
The moment I set foot in Japan, I had to dive straight into live practice for “Superhero.” And this morning at 7 AM the next day, after finishing the broadcast live performance, I was finally given a moment to rest.

I lay sprawled on the sofa, examining my hands—blistered, burst, and swollen red. Since it had been so long since I’d held a bass, there were even places where blood had begun to bead.
【Is this live possible at 7 in the morning?】
“Hey, Seo Ho-yoon, your hand still not doing well?”

Kim Sung-hyun poked his head through the cracked doorway and tossed me a towel. I caught it without answering.

“Want me to find you a bandage? But will that even help? Should we go to the hospital?”
“Don’t be dramatic. It’s nothing serious.”
[The redhead here looks really crazy… She’s really good at electronics;;;]
The idea to perform the recorded tracks in a band format for the live show had also been Lee Ji-hyun’s suggestion.
Since we’d already attempted a high school band concept inspired by American youth, shouldn’t we also create a band that captures Japanese adolescence?

For someone like Kang Yi-chae, who could handle almost anything, or Sung Ji-won, who was as proficient with the piano as a professional, it probably wasn’t terribly difficult.

【A typical K-pop idol’s foray into Japan】
【Is this really a live performance possible at 7 AM?】
[Suddenly I’m so jealous of Japanese sunsets… Fuck… Please let Japanese gambling bands perform live in Korea as well…]
[You captured that character well……~^^ I want to coolly move on, damn it]
Regardless, seeing the positive reception made all that effort feel far from wasted.
[Return home immediately]

[A song they can sing at 7 AM in the morning?… These guys are idols but they really practice like crazy]

[Just a casual electric guitar hobbyist passing by
I’ll keep on passing]

After checking the YouTube comments and moving to SNS, the reception there was equally glowing.
Seonghyeon Kim, who was looking at me closely as he raised his eyebrows, tilted his head slightly.

[Kang Yi-chae plays electric guitar sooooo well… the others still feel a bit rough, but Kang Yi-chae and Sung Ji-won are on another level… insane, they killed it..]
[Suddenly the Japanese Noeul fans are so jealous… damn it… please do a Japan-inspired band live in Korea too…]
[They captured the vibe well…~^^ I want to play it cool and move on, dammit]
[Give us The Dun back
Come home right now]

I turned off my phone and tossed the towel to the floor. Even though I’d said it was fine, I nudged Kim Sung-hyun with my foot as he rummaged through my luggage. “Hey, have you talked to Jung Da-jun lately?”
No matter how much I looked at it, something was suspicious.
“Jung Da-jun? What, because of Jung Won-ha?”

‘It’s clear he’s hiding something.’

The moment I raised my eyebrows, Kim Sung-hyun, who had been peeking at me, tilted his head slightly.

“Well, not really with me.”

“Ah, the weird part was that Jung Da-jun also got a warning from the Manager about that issue, so I went to check if he was okay.”
“Yeah.”

“Ho-yoon, would you like to try this? I tasted it on the way home and it was so sweet that it made my tongue tingle! It’s your favorite taste!”

No matter how I looked at it, something felt suspicious.
He’d grown stronger and matured in many ways, but Jung Da-jun’s fundamental nature hadn’t changed. If he’d been scolded by the Manager, he should have come running to the members whining about how unfair it was, complaining that he’d just quietly endured it all. That would’ve been normal.

‘He’s definitely hiding something.’

I was contemplating whether to let it slide since it didn’t seem like a major problem, when—
Then, Kim Seong-hyun suddenly gave Jeong Da-jun a look and cleared his throat.

“Quite, Jeong Da-jun! Didn’t you say you had to call your parents?”
Jung Da-jun’s cheerful voice rang out.

Where.

“It’s still too early for lunch time. I’ll contact you later.”
He tossed the bags onto the table and pulled out a small box, then walked over and suddenly thrust it at me. When I just looked at it without moving, he pretended he’d eat it himself if I didn’t hurry, opening his mouth wide and making swallowing motions without even unwrapping the packaging.
I straightened up in my seat and called out to Jung Da-jun.
“So, what’s delicious?”

I deliberately smiled more kindly. Jeong Da-jun looked at Kim Seong-hyun sadly with an expression asking for help, but Kim Seong-hyun only shook his head as if it was already too late.
Then I patted the spot next to me, and Jung Da-jun stopped talking.

“My youngest brought all the food for my older brother. Isn’t that really touching?”

“Ah, ah! Yes! That, that was it… right! That was it!”

Yeah, right.

“It’s still too early for lunch. I’ll contact you a bit later.”
“….”

“So, what’s supposed to be delicious?”
“…Wow, wow!!”

Observing every detail of their reactions, I accepted the box from Da-jun’s hands.

“Our youngest member bought all this food for his hyung, and it’s really touching, isn’t it?”
“Uh, go quickly. Yes, go.”

Kim Seong-hyun, with a pale face, hurriedly pushed my back out of fear that a spark might hit him. As I moved my feet slowly, a small, mumbling voice came out.

“Is the inside of your cheek okay? Jeong Da-jun, did you do something wrong to Seo Ho-yoon? Why are you so grumpy? You just stabbed me with a spoon….”
I brought it to his mouth, but Da-jun didn’t budge.

I left them behind and went into an empty room.

“…W-waaah!!”

While trembling, Da-jun finally opened his mouth obediently, and after feeding him a few more times, I shoved the spoon into his mouth and got to my feet.
From my experience so far, the fact that a guy who would be normal if you treated him well and started the game by asking what his intention was, leaving the house in such a mess and looking at me like a puppy rolling his eyes, 100% meant that he had done something wrong.
“…There’s still time before the next schedule, right? I’m going to rest for a bit.”

‘What do you think? It’s all good, I understand… .’

I don’t know why you lie.
“Is the inside of your cheek okay? Da-jun, did you do something wrong to Seo Ho-yoon? Why are you being so sulky? He was poking you with the spoon….”

“It’s a bit big, this is it.”

Okay, let’s see how far you can go.
